The Tenthredininae, which have the body with certain green parts, are only : Rhogogaster s.l.- Tenthredo (Eurogaster) - Tenthredo (Olivacedo) olivacea.
- - All Eurogaster have the habitus identical to E. mesomela which I already sent on the forum :
viewtopic.php?f=375&t=25280&hilit=+eurogaster
One cannot confuse them with other "green Tenthredininae".
- In general rule it is difficult to differentiate Rhogogaster and Olivacedo, if one did not captured a certain number of it.
In my opinion the only criterion making it possible to differentiate this 2 genera is provided by the relationship between, the distance between the eyes, and the width of Clypeus :
- Rhogogaster : The distance between the eyes is much larger than the width of the clypeus.
Olivacedo : The distance between the eyes is hardly larger than the width of the clypeus.
Being given these considerations, our 2 captures are thus Tenthredo (Olivacedo) olivacea Klug 1817 Che vivono in Italia

One will note the extreme variability of colouring of the abdomens.
Saluti.
